Flashback: Clinton – Got To Slow Economy

As we posted back in January, from our friend Jake Tapper at ABC News:

Bill: “We Just Have to Slow Down Our Economy” to Fight Global Warming

January 31, 2008

Former President Bill Clinton was in Denver, Colorado, stumping for his wife yesterday.

In a long, and interesting speech, he characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming this way: “We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions ’cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.”

At a time that the nation is worried about a recession is that really the characterization his wife would want him making? “Slow down our economy”? …

There is no pleasing some people, apparently.
